River Runs Red Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
River Runs Red
The subject matter of River Runs Red is relevant and timely and it once again shines a light on an ugly problem we have in this country.  However, the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

We, the Marines
We, the Marines made me feel a little of the pride these soldiers experience upon joining the Corps and offered a different perspective of what it means to be a Marine.

Philadelphia Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Philadelphia
Philadelphia brought a dream team of Hanks and Washington together with incredible results.  The film also made an impact on the Nation at a time when one was desperately needed. It is a reminder of how far we have come as a society and certainly should be owned in 4K UHD.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Mission: Impossible - Fallout
Mission: Impossible – Fallout has a solid plot surrounded by the amazing stunts discussed earlier.  As action films go this is the full package and certainly one of this year’s best.  Cruise could retire after this knowing he made an incredible film.

Scrooged Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Scrooged 30th Anniversary Edition
As Christmas time is full of traditions, I say buy Scrooged and make a new tradition of watching it every year with your loved ones around you.  It won’t disappoint and will remind you all if what is important in life and not to squander any opportunity to embrace love and family.

Blindspotting Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Blindspotting
Blindspotting is enjoyable and entertaining while offering a sober look at some of the things facing our young, black male population, especially in urban settings.  Serious moments peppered with humor and fun keep this film from being too bogged down.

BlacKkKlansman Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
BlacKkKlansman
BlacKkKlansman is a well-told story and I would be surprised if it didn’t garner some Oscar nominations this year.
